AI in school education: Insights from 23 European education systems – Volume 6 of European Schoolnet's Agile Collection of Information

Across 23 European countries, schools are confronting a challenge and embracing an opportunity like no other: artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how students learn, how teachers teach, and how education systems plan for the future. From Finland to Türkiye, and from Portugal to Lithuania, governments and schools are exploring ways to harness AI responsibly, effectively, and ethically. To provide a clear picture of these efforts, European Schoolnet has published its latest Agile Collection of Information: Artificial Intelligence in School Education, offering comprehensive insight into how AI is being implemented and experienced across Europe.

What emerges is a Europe-wide story of ambition, innovation and caution. AI is seen as a high-priority topic by most education authorities, motivated by the desire to improve teaching and learning and to prepare students for an increasingly digital future. Yet, alongside this promise lies a careful attention to ethics, data privacy, and the readiness of teachers to embrace new technologies. The report reveals a wide variety of approaches: some countries have already embedded AI literacy into secondary curricula, while others are developing pilot projects to explore practical applications.

From this report, the most striking insight is the shared priority across countries: equipping teachers and school leaders with the skills, knowledge, and guidance they need to harness AI responsibly. From ethical frameworks to classroom pilots, from curriculum innovation to peer-learning networks, the report paints a picture of education systems striving to innovate without losing sight of equity, inclusion, and the values that define European education.

European Schoolnet's  latest Agile Collection of Information is more than a snapshot of current initiatives. It is a call to action for policymakers, school leaders, educators, EdTech partners, and researchers to learn from one another, to share evidence, and to build a future where AI supports both teaching and learning in meaningful and ethical ways.
